Yes it was announced this morning, there are also restriction for 16-18 years olds, but not complete bans for that age group. We are following Australia. I think it’s a good thing, the ban is not automatic, it’s going to be phased in by Spring next year. Obviously the young people are not going to be happy about it - but something has to be done.

I thought it would be interesting to hear what teens are saying about it. The BBC thought so too.
